ADJUSTABLE END-SUP-PORTING BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 552,530, dated January 7, 1896.

Application filed May 14, 1895. Serial Nox 649,237. (No model.)

To all whom. t may concern,.-

Beit known that I, HORACE D. JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portsmouth, in the county of Scioto and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable EndSupporting Brackets; and I do hereby declare thefollowing'to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others` skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a bracket of ornamental design, appearance, or finish, intended for attachment to the wall of a room or other apartment, to serve as a receptacle for newspapers, sheet-music, letters, and

other substantially or approximately iiat` thus countersinking that face and affording space between it and the surface of the supporting-wall for the accommodation and fas-` tening of the projections that serve as the receptacles and holders of the device. These projections consist of three or more horseshoe loops of stout springy wire B, directed upward from the base of the bracket in three several approximately vertical planes. At

the bottom the three wires forming either end of the horseshoe are pressed into one and the same vertical plane side by side with the largest loop on the outside of the row and the smallest on the inside, and they are then passed from front to rear of the base through an orifice Z) made for that purpose. On the reverse face of the base the orifice continues through a bed c, formed upon that surface, and the top of which is channeled, as at d, to enable the wires to be sent upward and beaten or pressed down into the channel..

To prevent the loops B from falling forward, a bar C is passed across the obverse face of the base in front of the loops, its ends being carried through the base by means of the orifices e, and being bent inward are beaten or pressed down into the channels of a pair of beds f, similar to the beds already described. The largest and 4rearmost of the three loops is meant to rest against the wall y as a backing for the bracket to protect the wall measurably against soiling or injury; but in case ofneed this loop may be pulled outward from the wall and allowed to spring back upon and hold any article placed between itself and the wall. The two other loops have coils g formed in them to make them stiifer and improve their ability to hold vsecurely the miscellaneous collection of articles of paper and cardboard likely to be committed to such receptacle.

Having described the invention, I claim- The combination in a wall bracket of the base, provided with the ila'nge a, the orifices b and e, the beds c and f, and the channels cl, with the loops B, having in part the coils g, and the cross-bar C, the lWhole constructed and arranged as andv for the purposes described.

In testimonyV whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
